STOP Uploading Sermons Until You Fix These YouTube Settings (Church Growth Guide 2026)

Описание: If your church is uploading sermons and getting almost no views, it’s probably not your message—it’s your YouTube setup. In this video (recorded January 2026), I walk through the exact channel changes I made while helping manage a church YouTube channel—so your church can get found, get more watch time, and turn casual viewers into real visitors.

Here’s what you’ll learn step-by-step:
✅ How to set up your Home tab (trailer, featured sections, livestream rows, and playlists)
✅ Why you should never delete old videos (and what to do instead)
✅ The playlist strategy that boosts visibility + autoplay watch time
✅ The channel customization checklist: banner, icon, handle, About, website, contact email
✅ The “Subscribe link” trick (adds sub_confirmation=1) for your site + video descriptions
✅ The settings I recommend for churches: keywords, upload defaults, moderation, verification
✅ Why Shorts = more views on long sermons (and how to post highlights consistently)
✅ How to add End Screens + Cards so viewers keep watching (and YouTube recommends you more)

If you’re a church leader, media volunteer, or pastor trying to grow your church online—this is your YouTube foundation.
